Got the email from Apple
 

My reserved Iphone 4 is available for collection.

Probably won't have time to run through the whole in store transfer process (and wont have a micro sim at that point as I need to collect from an o2 store once i get the phone), so to is it just a case of syncing with itunes to activate and transfer contacts, etc?

I really should know this!

You might need to transfer your number over to the micro sim which taken 8 hours for me.

O2 might be able to do it for you there.

And yes simple case of backing up then restoring to the iPhone 4 . Enjoy :D

Lucky you, I got a tax bill instead. Not jealous at all.

Got a tax refund :thumb:

Cheers :thumb:

Now have sitting in front of me:

1 iPhone 4
1 micro sim from o2 store (just need to activate it online at o2.co.uk)
1 silicone case

All on existing and more favourable tariff than the new ones :D

Sorry Jack :o

Nice :thumb:

Case will sort out the signal issue :)
Sim will be activated very soon :thumb:
Spend this time downloading some useful apps to itunes
oh and buy some apple shares now as they are cheap after having £6.5bn wiped off :thumb:

The first app you need is iMovie :D

Already have plenty apps - although IMovie looks :cool:

Not at home 'till Friday morning (where mac with all apps & music resides) so may wait till then to activate, although its tempting just to plug it into this laptop and get the ball rolling now :D

Just in time to add your name to the lawsuits .... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07...over_iphone_4/ ... :thumb:

LOL

Purchased in the full awareness of the "problem" :D

Which won't be a "problem" as mine will have a cover anyway.

And it it does become a "problem", i'll return it to the apple store for a full refund, or replacement if they redesign it.

What does the cover do?

DD you purchased that knowing it WOULD be a problem why ?

Stops your hand shorting the antennae if you hold it a certain way.

No Jamie,

I purchased it knowing that there would be no problem due to circumstances.

1) the cover
2) being right handed
3) holding the phone in my right hand when making calls.

hence my use of the ""

Why do you need the cover then if you are right handed? In case you are using your right hand for something else whilst surfing the 'web'?:Suspiciou:Suspiciou;)

to protect his £500 phone from scratches incase it slips out his hand:wonder:

HOW MUCH??????????????????????????????? FOR A PHONE THAT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY?????????

Do you have a non working iPhone Mr Dongler? Or are you a victim of the hype?

I had two non working previous generation iphones, got fed up and went over to Crackberry. I'm sure it was just bad luck, but I had problems with a faulty ipod as well.

I'm not an apple hater, I have a lovely Macbook, so don't take anything I say too seriously:)

How are the apple shares going Jack? heard they were dropping faster than BP?

I got mine last Friday, and my number got transferred and all started working today :) Not got a case yet, but mine doesnt seem to loose the signal how ever I hold it.....maybe I'm not conductive enough?!

He likes you Ding:lol1:

I got a free micro sim from o2 this morning having registered interest but thought i'd never get one as wasn't being sent out to everyone and didn't order the iphone 4 as the rush for it/the micros sims was too great :rolleyes:

Going great, 252.73, I bought at around 80.00 so they have a long way to go before I stop grinning. I always said they were a $300 stock and I have no doubt they'll get there at which point I'll consider selling.
